Event Description

We live and work in an industry that is being disrupted by technology daily. It’s important for everyone throughout an organization to be able to better understand how technology can create an opportunity to better serve and connect with customers. Equally as important is marketing such innovations to create meaningful brands in agriculture. The day will include discussion on the impact of meaningful brands, a skill building workshop on emerging technologies and exposure to agencies that connect the two. Participants will discover ways to bring innovation and technology to what they do every day.

This week’s guest on Open Mic is Ken Dallmier, President and COO of Clarkson Grain Company.

Dallmier says this generation of consumer demand is dominated by a different set of social values leading to questions over the way food is produced and the prices they’re willing to pay. Sustainability, organic and non-GMO are providing farmers an income stream isolated from traditional market forces.

The world of agriculture extends beyond what’s growing in your field or living in your barn, and here at Agri-Pulse, we understand that. We make it our duty to inform you of the most up-to-date agricultural and rural policy decisions being made in Washington D.C. and examine how they will affect you – the farmer, the lobbyist, the government employee, the educator, the consultant and the concerned citizen.
